The aim of the Competition is to obtain the best architectural and urban solution for the project entitled Malopolska Science Center in Krakow (MSC). It is assumed that the best design chosen by the Competition jury will take into account the specific nature of the project. It is essential to combine the applied solutions and the far and near contexts – spatial, architectural and cultural – of the Malopolska Region and Krakow – a city of culture, science and art. In the location in question, the Contracting Authority expects a contemporary architectural form of the highest quality that can become a showcase of the city and the region.
In the mind of the Contracting Authority, the Malopolska Science Center will be an innovative cultural institution aimed at education through fun and involvement in individual and team scientific experiments and other activities. The MSC should arouse passion for learning, help understand the world, build an attitude of creativity, openness, and a habit of independent thinking. The MSC is different from other institutions, such as research units, schools and museums. The building should be a demonstrative, model example of a sustainable and energy-efficient architecture, and comprise an educational and exposition path including the key points of the facility’s infrastructure (e.g. installations, machinery, layers: walls, roofs, ceilings).
The aim of the Competition is to select, through verification and evaluation in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations, the concept to develop a comprehensive design documentation enabling the execution of the investment in a building (a complex of buildings) for the Malopolska Science Center in Krakow, including the development of investment plots. The participant of the Competition whose work shall be decided to be the best by the Competition jury will be invited to negotiate under a single-source procurement procedure which will focus on detailing the Competition work consisting in the development of a comprehensive design documentation. The Contracting Authority is planning to execute the investment in the BIM technology.
